(((Vowel Lady))) I'm so very sorry about your companion. Of course you have cried and cried. It's so very difficult to euthanize pets even when we know it will be a blessing for them.

Your baby was a very lucky dog to have you.

Maybe I didn't catch it in your post...what was his name?

I like the idea of a picture of the sweetie as well. My very favorite cat of all time passed many years ago. Well, I had to put him down, he was suffering hopelessly. Macho Man. I still miss that fantastic cat. I have a wonderful picture of him on my bedroom wall. He always, always slept by my head at night. His last few nights he would 'hold' my hand.

It did take awhile to be able to have a picture of him up though. It was too painful for me to even think about him. 2 years ago I lost another one whom I adored and it's STILL too painful for me to see pictures of her, but someday...

((Hugs)) and I hope your pain lessens very soon.
